Abstract: Citations are an essential aspect of research communication and have become the basis of many evaluation met‑rics in the academic world. Some see citation counts as a mark of scientific impact or even quality, but in reality thereasons for citing other work are manifold which makes the interpretation more complicated than a single citationcount can reflect. Two years ago, the Journal of Cheminformatics proposed the CiTO Pilot for the adoption of a practiceof annotating citations with their citation intentions. Basically, when you cite a journal article or dataset (or any othersource), you also explain why specifically you cite that source. Particularly, the agreement and disagreement andreuse of methods and data are of interest. This article explores what happened after the launch of the pilot. We sum‑marize how authors in the Journal of Cheminformatics used the pilot, shows citation annotations are distributed withWikidata, visualized with Scholia, discusses adoption outside BMC, and finally present some thoughts on what needsto happen next.
